Instead of
the unwashed masses, we now have the unthinking masses!
I’m astonished at the prevailing mentality among the
American citizenry I encounter. Apparently we are so afraid to question
authority, so willing to believe blatant lies, that we willingly capitulate to
liars and thieves dressed as CEOs and politicians.
The average person does not follow politics, economics or much of anything, which might prove vital to the survival of their family or their children…
As I wrote in my How to Survive the War on the Middle Class e-book, and in dozens of previous columns, our dollar is teetering on the edge of NO CONFIDENCE from its own citizens and from other nations. Our prosperity was built on the international use of our dollar for business…
Obama has done his best to undermine world confidence in the dollar and in my opinion, he’s done the same for the people.
I heard a radio campaign ad for a local political
candidate while in Texas.
In the ad, he was talking about the debt and excessive
government spending. And then he said something along the lines of, "We
need to get this under control before America goes bankrupt."
'Hey pal,' I remember thinking, 'America isn't going
bankrupt. It already IS bankrupt.'
Just so that we don't mince words, my dictionary defines
'bankrupt' as "any insolvent debtor," i.e. a debtor whose liabilities
exceeds assets.
That's the US government, by its own admission.
Is the petrodollar monopoly about to be shattered? When U.S. politicians started slapping economic sanctions on Russia, they probably never even imagined that there might be serious consequences for the United States. But now the Russian media is reporting that the Russian Ministry of Finance is getting ready to pull the trigger on a "de-dollarization.
It is no surprise to anyone who studies history or economics, that the American economy is bleeding profusely…The signs are all around us, especially in the crap jobs market Obama likes to boast about. Anyone with half a brain can see what is occurring is too stupid to understand.
Very few middle class jobs are being created as Wall Street continues to siphon off good jobs, good wages and most offer nearly zero benefits.
A Parting Thought…
While on vacation in Mexico, an American businessman came across a local
fisherman with a small boat full of fish. The businessman asked how long it
took him to catch all those fish, to which the fisherman replied only a short
time.
“Why not stay out and catch more?” the
American asked.
“Because this is all my family needs,”
said the fisherman.
“Then what do you do with the rest of
your time?” questioned the American.
“I sleep late, fish a little, play with
my kids, take a siesta, stroll into the village, play guitar, and sip wine with
my friends. I have a full and happy life.”
“I have an MBA,” said the American.
“You should spend more time fishing and buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds
from the bigger boat, you could buy a fleet of boats. Instead of selling to a
middleman, you could sell right to the processor and eventually open your own
cannery. Then you could move to Mexico City and then New York, where you'd run
your expanding enterprise.”
“How long will all this take?” the
fisherman wondered.
“Twenty to thirty years of hard work.”
was the reply. “But then comes the best part! You announce an IPO and sell your
company stock to the public and become rich. You'd make millions.”
“And then what?” asked the
simple-minded fisherman.
“Then you would retire to a small
fishing village in Mexico, sleep late, play with your kids, play guitar, and
sip wine with your friends,” said the businessman.
The fisherman, a bit confused, asked,
“Isn't that what I'm doing right now?”

us have lost sight of how to fish - Be Your Own Mexican Fisherman
Tired of seeing your
standard of living hijacked? Fight back…or you can continue burying your head
in the sand.

like to learn more about the US economy's phony foundations, how the whole mess
